Lord's Supper /Communion

IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME

• The Lord's Supper - We observe the Lord's Supper as the central part of our worship service every week when we come together as a local church.  We understand from Scripture that the Lord's Supper is a communion for believers whereby we corporately remember the Lord Jesus Christ and proclaim His death until He comes.  Our invitation to share in this communion is extended to all believers who may be present at the time, without regard to church membership.  The elements of this holy supper consist of the  bread and the cup.  Luke 22:19-20.  Acts 2:42;  20:7.  1 Corinthians 11:23-32.  Luke 22:19-20.  Acts 2:42;  20:7.  1 Corinthians 11:23-32. 

•  Proclamation  By participating, believers proclaim the Lord's death until His return.

• Luke 22:19 (KJV): "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in (remembrance )of me".

• 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 (ESV): "...and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body, which is for you. Do this in (remembrance )of me.' In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in (remembrance)of me'"

 1Co 11:23  For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 

1Co 11:24  And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 

1Co 11:25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 

1Co 11:26  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 

1Co 11:27  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 

1Co 11:28  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 

1Co 11:29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body
